Chloromethyl heptyl ether reacts with selenium in the system hydrazine hydrate-potassium hydroxide with formation of a mixture of bis(heptyloxymethyl) selane (32%) and bis(heptyloxymethyl)diselane (64%). Reductive cleavage of the latter with hydrazine hydrate-KOH and subsequent alkylation with methyl iodide gave methyl(heptyloxymethyl)selane in 94% yield. Analogous reaction of tellurium with hydrazine hydrate-KOH leads to the formation of extremely unstable bis(heptyloxymethyl)ditellane and bis(heptyloxymethyl) tellane at a ratio of 1: 4.
